Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer notes that in the last decade Toronto has had significant tourism issues that have been felt through events such as the terrorist bombings in New York, the SARS epidemic and the failure of small businesses across the region. The writer points out that for Toronto, a city with a vast population that is increasing in size each year, the reliance on tourism has always been significant. Yet, because of these factors the city has failed to meet the travel standards of many throughout the globe and travelers have consequently taken their ventures elsewhere. The writer then discusses that Toronto, failing to make the top ten list of "Travel and Leisure" magazine's cities to see is detrimental, because it means that yet another year will pass that will witness the city in economic decline. The writer concludes that it is evident that Toronto needs to formulate a plan using this concept that will allow the city to build its reputation in the travel industry once again and solve the continuing issues that are adversely affecting Toronto.

From the Paper:

"In the last decade Toronto has had significant tourism issues that have been felt through events such as the terrorist bombings in New York, the SARS epidemic and the failure of small businesses across the region. For Toronto, a city with a vast population that is increasing in size each year, the reliance on tourism has always been significant. Yet, because of these factors the city has failed to meet the travel standards of many throughout the globe and travelers have consequently taken their ventures elsewhere. Toronto, failing to make the top ten list of Travel and Leisure Magazine's cities to see is detrimental, therefore, because it means that yet another year will pass that will witness the city in economic decline."
